Thread: NZHS Rimfire Postal Shoot

Had a bit of a shoot today but will have too wait for a time keeper.12 secs too load the mag for the bolt action .22 .
Not as easy as it looks but will be fun.

Possom trapper and I shot at the rabbit and magpie today.

35 seconds to load the mag and shoot was just enough time for the rabbit.

Mrs D and Sean Dundee had 5 shots at the rabbit but they couldn't make the time limit so won't be entering.

Heres the boys checking the target at 25metres



And these are the targets possom trapper and I shot,mine are on the left



Will have a go at the possom and cat tommorow as it was getting a bit windy.

Send me a pm Gillie and I will scan them and send em off too you. My Dads gona have a go too.

Well done Daniel on that Magpie!!

Cat and possom done now. I had one dud round on the cat, pissed me off but we are both happy with the results.
Mine on the left and Possom trappers on the right

Like too say thanks too Gillie that was a lot of fun. Will scan them and send them off to Gillie.


Rifle used .22lr model 14p stirling bolt action with a 4x32 scope. Ammo was winchester .22lr 36gr hollow point

Thanks Dundee, got your targets in my email. I'll get round to scoring them tonight. I don't think that cat of yours really needed that 5th shot anyway. First 4 all would have killed it i think!

You have to run another one Gillie. I have no printer ink an as we live rurally its unlikely I will get some by the time I fly back to work on Wed.
We were supposed to do it yesterday and someone forgot all the targets and such, even forgot to bring his rifle. Thats what you get when you let your wife drink I spose.
Our other offsider that was supposed to shoot has the feeble excuse of almost dying from a burst appendix so you can see we are a sad pack of bastards.

Ha! Excuses, excuses mate! Still a week and more till the cut off date so we will see if the south island can rustle up some competition.

I didn't want to have to extend the date but i can do. If we extend the entry cut off date till say October 15th that would be fine with me but i'll be out of contact for a couple of weeks in Spetember.

How many entries so far Gillie? Whos winning at this stage North or South?

And do you take the average/mean or median of the scores?

I beter pull finger, when i first saw this and thought 'yea' ill give it ago, i hadnt read the rules, how ever i will slip in that im South island, that should keep the North score up there

ok bit of an update for you i have scored 8 entries so far. Still only the one from the south island so far! As suspected the south island have put their faith in Wietnamcam and are winning with their average over the north island.

I am aware of about 4-6 other people who have shot and i haven't got their targets yet! Those people and anyone else still wanting to enter have a week to get their targets to me. I also have a few people who have entered who i haven't heard back from!

and I couldnt see the cat LOL

Bugger, I need Dave to get his targets in to bring the south island score down haha.

Abe Adam and Dave might get there shit together yet (first for everything LOL) and rocket the rednecks to a untouchable first.
